I think understanding this concept will help the countless men who have been “Blindsided” by their wives who want a divorce.

You served a purpose for her. You were available at a time when she needed something from you: marriage, children, stability. It was a practical decision on her part.

You, as the romantic male fool, thought it was Fairy Tale time. That this was your “Soul Mate” and if you worked hard enough and did the dishes and dedicated your entire life to pleasing her and getting her approval that you would live a happy life.

But she never felt that way.

You were Plan B, or even C or D. The guy she really wanted she dated in college. You don’t compare to him in any way. But he wanted someone hotter than your wife, so she ended up settling for you.

You. The genteel, well-behaved, mild-mannered, hard-working, dedicated sap. No woman really wants to fuck Ned Flanders.

So you served a purpose at the right time.

Now that the reason she got you had been fulfilled and if she can still get it, she’s going to try to get a masculine man again before her time runs out.
